The new Sienta has an exterior design that provides a spacious cabin space and good maneuverability.
The cabin features a horizontal beltline and large windows offer good visibility and driving ease.
The Sienta has fabric seat covers with deodorising and water/oil-repellent treatment (variant dependent) for more convenience and easier cleaning up after food or drink spills.
While maintaining the popular low 330 mm floor height and stepless flat floor, the power sliding dooropening height has been expanded to 1,200 mm, +60 mm compared to previous models, to make it easier to get in and out of rear seats. All family members, from children to the elderly, can easily get in and out of the vehicle.
The MPV is equipped with hands-free dual power sliding doors . This enables users carrying the key to automatically open and close the sliding doors simply by placing their feet under the sensors at the bottom of the front doors.
The new Sienta comes equipped with Advanced Park, a driving support technology function within Toyota Teammate. Besides support of all operations-steering, acceleration, braking, and gear changes-the bird's-eye view display also shows the ideal steering wheel positions for a safe and secure parking experience.
This system expands support in parallel parking situations. In addition to backing in/forward exit from parking situations, it also supports forward entry/backing exit parking situations for improved ease of use when parking.
The platform that forms the vehicle's basic structure was newly designed based on the TNGA (GA-B) platform. The main structure is joined to form a ring-shaped frame, improving joint rigidity. The highly rigid body is light and well-balanced to deliver high-quality riding comfort and outstanding handling stability.
Handling stability, ride comfort, and quietness have been improved. Front and rear suspension geometry has been optimised to produce a rigid body. MacPherson struts are at the front while torsion beam hold up the rear.
The Sienta was launched in September 2003 as a vehicle that combines the convenience of an MPV, with a spacious cabin and seating for seven passengers.
